AST Smart Farming System

Smarter farms. Protected assets. Better decisions.

An AI-powered platform that helps African farmers monitor operations in real time, automate routine work, protect assets and improve animal health — across piggery, poultry, livestock, irrigation, greenhouses, CCTV and drones.

One platform for the whole farm

AST Smart Farming is a native extension of the AssetSentinel ecosystem — built to protect assets and automate operations, from a single piggery to a multi-site farm group.

Monitor in real time

Protect farm assets

CCTV, geofencing, preventive maintenance and intrusion alerts safeguard stock and equipment.

Improve animal health

Early-warning alerts on environment, mortality and disease risk keep herds and flocks healthy.

Control feed & water

Feed conversion, water usage and cost-per-animal analytics protect your margins.

Decide with AI

An AI assistant turns farm data into daily briefings, risk summaries and clear recommendations.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to replace my existing equipment?+

No. AST Smart Farming integrates with common IoT controllers (ESP32, Arduino, LoRaWAN, GSM/LTE, MQTT, Modbus) and commercial controllers, and runs alongside your current setup. We assess your farm first and recommend only what adds value.

Will it work where internet is unreliable?+

Yes. The platform is offline-first on mobile — workers can capture data, photos and inspections offline and it syncs automatically. Sensors can buffer and forward over GSM/LTE or LoRaWAN.

Can I upload my existing farm records?+

Yes. The AI-assisted data upload reads Excel, CSV, PDF, images and scanned records, maps them to the right tables, validates and de-duplicates, shows you a preview, and only inserts after you confirm.

Is my farm data private?+

Every client only sees their own farm data, with role-based access control, encryption, audit trails and CCTV/finance access controls. Your data is isolated from other clients.

How is it priced?+

Most packages combine a once-off setup and a monthly monitoring/support subscription. Final pricing depends on your farm size and chosen modules — book a free farm assessment for a tailored quotation.

Which farms do you support?+

Piggery, poultry, livestock, crop farming, irrigation, greenhouses, boreholes and multi-site farm groups — single farms through to multi-tenant enterprises.
